An observation:
If y’all spent a tenth as much effort on clearing and updating Nix PRs as y’all do complaining about Eelco and DetSys there is no telling how far along we’d be.
Again, you can go here: Pull requests · NixOS/nix · GitHub
You can just do things, you know, instead of whinging and rehashing “We hate DetSys and Eelco and want them to fail thread #23”.
And if you can’t just do things, because you discover there is insufficient coordination/consensus/buy-in, perhaps it will suddenly make sense why DetSys chose to do things the way they have (and Lix the way they have, and Tvix, etc.)
